IT services and infrastructure consulting for French enterprises
Groupe Avanista is a French IT services firm built around a core stack of mainframe (RACF, Z/OS, DB2), Elasticsearch, and AWS infrastructure — now adopting Kubernetes and IBM MQ while phasing out OpenStack. The hiring surge is heavily skewed toward senior engineers (33 of 44 open roles), concentrated in infrastructure and DevOps, reflecting the scale of their ongoing Elastic-to-Kubernetes migration and multi-site data-center expansion.

Groupe Avanista provides IT consulting and managed services to mid-market and enterprise clients across France, operating under both fixed-price (forfait) and time-and-materials (régie) engagement models. Founded in 2012 by two veterans with 30 years of combined IT services experience, the firm emphasizes employee-first culture and quality delivery. Their service scope spans infrastructure engineering, cybersecurity, supply-chain IT, and procurement. The company operates across a heterogeneous tech environment—supporting legacy mainframe systems (Z/OS, DB2, RACF) alongside modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform, EKS) and observability stacks (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Grafana, Zabbix).
